Amethyst
Automatic tiling window manager for macOS à la xmonad
Tiling window manager for macOS along the lines of xmonad. Amethyst is available for direct download on the releases page or using homebrew cask. Amethyst now is only supported on macOS 10.12+. Amethyst must be given permissions to use the accessibility APIs under the Privacy tab of the Security & Privacy preferences pane. Amethyst uses two modifier combinations. Amethyst allows you to cycle among several different window layouts. Layouts can also be enabled/disabled to control whether they appear in the cycle sequence at all. The default layout gives you one "main pane" on the left, and one other pane on the right. By default, one window is placed in the main pane (extending the full height of the screen), and all remaining windows are placed in the other pane. If either pane has more than one window, that pane will be evenly split into rows, to show them all. You can use the keyboard shortcuts above to control which window(s), and how many, are in the main pane. -

LeftWM Layouts
Library providing fixed but parameterized window layout calculations
This library encapsulates layout calculations from external dependencies and displays servers, so that it can be used by window managers for X.Org, Wayland, or whatever else. It's all about splitting up rectangles, the library has no concept of "windows". Some default layouts are provided, but custom layouts can be defined. Custom layout definitions allow some flexibility but are still fairly limited by design, as the target audience of this library is list-based / dynamic-tiling window managers (the likes of leftwm, dwm, ...) as opposed to manual tilers like i3. -

Rofi
A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement
Rofi started as a clone of the simple switcher, written by Sean Pringle - a popup window switcher roughly based on a super switcher. Simpleswitcher laid the foundations, and therefore Sean Pringle deserves most of the credit for this tool. Rofi (renamed, as it lost the simple property) has been extended with extra features, like an application launcher and ssh-launcher, and can act as a drop-in menu replacement, making it a very versatile tool. Rofi, like dmenu, will provide the user with a textual list of options where one or more can be selected. This can either be running an application, selecting a window, or options provided by an external script. It's not an application that can support every possible use case. It tries to be generic enough to be usable by everybody. Rofi has several built-in modes implementing common use cases and can be extended by scripts (either called from Rofi or calling Rofi) or plugins. -

SnapToWindow
A cross-platform (windows, macOS) window management application
SnapToWindow is a user-experience utility likely aimed at enhancing window management on desktop environments by enabling users to “snap” application windows into predefined screen positions or layouts using keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures. These kinds of tools are popular for improving productivity, especially on multi-monitor setups, by letting users quickly align and resize windows to halves, quarters, or other grid arrangements without manual dragging. While official project documentation isn’t available from search, the repository name and conventions imply a small, focused tool that hooks into the native windowing system (on Windows, macOS, or Linux) to detect active windows and reposition them based on user commands. It helps streamline workflows for developers, designers, and multitaskers who juggle many open windows and want consistent, repeatable layouts. -

Worm
A dynamic, tag-based window manager written in Nim
Worm is a tiny, dynamic, tag-based window manager written in the Nim language. It supports both a floating mode and master-stack tiling with gaps and struts. Worm will try to execute the file ~/.config/worm/rc on startup. Simply create it as a shell-script to execute your favorite applications with worm. (don't forget to make it executable). Worm does not have a built-in keyboard mapper, so you should use something like sxhkd. Please read the docs to understand how wormc works before writing your own sxhkdrc. -

river
A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
River is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor with a flexible runtime configuration. River can either be run nested in an X11/Wayland session or directly from a tty using KMS/DRM. Simply run the river command. Usually this executable is a shell script invoking riverctl(1) to create mappings, start programs such as a layout generator or status bar, and perform other configuration. -

win95-dark
Dark win95 IceWM theme
Dark variant of the win95 theme for IceWM. This theme is, in general, just to be a good-looking, basic dark theme. IceWM has a default theme called win95 which is meant to look similar to the look of the Windows 95 operating system. I like that theme since it's pretty basic, but I wanted a dark version. Light colours are turned into darker colours, and vice versa. Tooltips are slightly yellowish in older Windows versions, so I made them dark turquoise, and title bars have a smoother blue colour. -

FVWM-Crystal
FVWM-Crystal aims to create an easy to use and powerful desktop.
FVWM - Crystal aims to create an easy to use, eye-candy but also powerful desktop environment for Linux or other Unix-like operating systems. Its goals include seeking for better ways of using window manager and providing it with eyecandy interface. It try to exercise FVWM quite a bit. It has some very interesting features unique to Linux/Unix desktops like direct controls for several media players and its ability to bring in full screen virtualy any application. It can flow through the full screened applications and the desktop in a manner similar to the application stack of the Amiga OS, which provides an innovative way to go around the desktop space, without compromising traditional X multiple desktop pages. The core code was written by harnir Maciej Delmanowski with contributions from many other folks. The current developments are led by Dominique Michel. -

notion
Tabbed, tiling window manager.
Notion is a tiling, tabbed window manager for the X window system: * Tiling: you divide the screen into non-overlapping 'tiles'. Every window occupies one tile, and is maximized to it * Tabbing: a tile may contain multiple windows - they will be 'tabbed' * Static: most tiled window managers are 'dynamic', meaning they automatically resize and move around tiles as windows appear and disappear. Notion, by contrast, does not automatically change the tiling. You're in control. Features include: * Workspaces: each workspace has its own tiling * Multihead: the mod_xinerama plugin provides very nice dual-monitor support * RandR: mod_xrandr expands on mod_xinerama and picks up changes in the randr configuration without the need for restarting Notion * Extensibility: Notion can be extended with lua scripts. -
